Yin Yoga is less about physical action, and more about internal processing and connection. 🧠 It's slow enough to modify poses and ask questions along the way so that you can mindfully connect with your body and identify what's shifting in order to make space. 🧘‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The props are there to assist our practice. When we invite our bodies to relax, they often comply...if we try to force a stretch, it often rebels and does the opposite. We use props because every body is different, and we may need different assists on different days. Even the most advanced practitioners seek out their favorite supports.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🧺 You don't need fancy props either. Blankets, books, and other every day items can be used to assist the yin yoga practice.
